"Robert Mapplethorpe began taking photographs in 1970 with a Polaroid camera given to him by a friend. Nearly twenty years later, when Mapplethorpe died at the age of forty-two, he was considered one of the most important photographers of his time. His elegant and sometimes shocking nudes, the black-and-white portraits, flower still lifes, and images of sexual sadomasochism had been exhibited widely and were the subject of serious critical attention in Europe and America. A few months after his death, Mapplethorpe became the focus of an acrimonious debate over federal funding of the arts when an exhibition of his work was canceled by the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The director of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, was subsequently acquitted of obscenity charges brought against him for presenting the same exhibition." "This is the definitive collection of Mapplethorpe's black-and-white photographs, drawing on the full range of his work, from the early Polaroids to the haunting self-portraits taken shortly before he died. It has been prepared in collaboration with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, which was established by the artist to provide funds for AIDS research and photographic projects."--Jacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Circa viertausend Polaroids ersetzen Pierre Keller das Tagebuch von zehn oder fünfzehn Jahren seines Lebens. Sie entstanden im pulsierenden New York der Siebzigerjahre, wo er bis 1983 lebte und arbeitete, auf Reisen in Südamerika und im heimischen Lavaux. Kunstschaffende wie Nan Goldin, Keith Haring, Michel Basquiat und Robert Mapplethorpe waren seine Weggefährten. Erinnerungen an gemeinsame Erlebnisse, aber auch an die Tode der Menschen in seinen Bildern tauchen die Photographien von Pierre Keller in alle Farben des Regenbogens. Sie zeigen das ganze Spektrum des schwulen Lebens: Braune Haut, milchiges Fleisch, rote Schwänze, blanke Ärsche, weisse Dildos, freche Statements, die neongrüne Heimlichkeit der Bath Houses und Augenblicke nachdenklicher Poesie - zeitweise richtig blue. Anders als Mapplethorpe arbeitete Pierre Keller nie mit professionellen Photomodellen. Er fotografierte die Männer dort, wohin er ihnen gefolgt war, wohin sie ihm gefolgt waren. Seine SX-70 in der alten US-Armeehose stets bei sich beschreibt Keller das Photographieren als sexuellen Akt. Manchmal ging beides auch Hand in Hand. Selbstzensur kam nie in Frage, Genuss stand im Vordergrund: Schöne Männer, lukullische Freuden. Sein Blick ist durchaus auch ein kulinarischer. 'Antiporno', wie Jean Tinguely meinte, den Pierre Keller noch heute bewundert: Bilder für das Kino im Kopf. Doch diese pralle Fülle fand damals keinen Anklang. Photographie war noch nicht Galerienkunst. In 'My Colorful Life' kommen die Polaroids von Pierre Keller spät zu ihrem verdienten Ruhm.

4°, 224 S., zahlr. Abb., Kart., Min. gebrauchspurig, tadell From its inception in 1947, the Polaroid system inspired artists to experiment - to dazzling effect - with the cameras' unique technologies. Edwin Land, the inventor of the first Polaroid instant camera, remarked on his discovery, "Photography will never be the same." And he was right. This fascinating journey through the Polaroid era documents the evolution of instant photography. Hundreds of color images celebrate the myriad ways Polaroid photographs were used and ingeniously manipulated by Chuck Close, Walker Evans, David Hockney, Robert Mapplethorpe, Lucas Samaras, William Wegman, and others. In addition, the book features essays addressing the unique technology of instant photography and the marketing genius of the Polaroid Corporation. Interviews with artists reveal how Polaroids affected and, in many instances, forever changed the way artists captured the world around them. Text: engl. 1100 gr. Schlagworte: Photographie.
